You toil so hard in your garden and yard, so don't let deer, rabbits and other critters destroy your hard work or your harvest.
Havahart® brings you expert tips for repelling animals from your yard or garden so you can have a beautiful yard and a bountiful harvest. We also give you tips regarding careful use of our repellent sprays and concentrate products.
Q: If I have a clogged sprayer, what should you use/do?
A: Rinse the sprayer with clear water, until all dry pieces of repellent are gone. To prevent future clogs, always shake repellents vigorously before spraying. Shaking the product ensures that the active repellent ingredients, which have settled to the bottom, go back into flowing solution before the sprayer is activated. With only flowable material going into the sprayer, you can significantly reduce clogging in the dip tube and sprayer head.
Be sure to rinse the sprayer after each use.
Q: Will liquid repellents work in cold temperatures?
A: Yes - If the product is sprayed before temperatures drop below 40 degrees. A liquid repellent can freeze and cause damage to the plant, if sprayed on a plant at temperatures below 40 degrees. In the winter months, use granular repellent to keep critters away.
Q: Do you need to reapply animal repellents after it rains?
A: Yes, if there was a heavy downpour or within 24 hours of spraying.
Liquid Repellents - If spray is used in wet conditions or in damp, cold, foggy or misty, weather, or if precipitation occurs before spray can dry, protection may be partially or completely lost. Reapply after heavy rain.
Granular Repellents - More frequent application may be necessary during periods of heavy, prolonged rainfall.
Tried the product but it didn't work. July 25, 2011
Reviewer: Jack Burton
Squirrels have decided to start digging through my flowerpots and make a mess of my deck. I now have seven of them and I am tired of buying new plants and replanting every week. I purchased this at Home Depot on the recommendation of a sales person.
I followed the directions and used half the bottle by the outside of the flower pots and waited. Within 15 minutes the squirrels had returned and weren't even phased by the product. They were crawling though the flower pots as if the product wasn't even there.
I was really hoping that this product would work because now I am forced into a trapping and relocating the pests.
Bottom line: The product didn't work for me.

Havahart® - Consumer Relations Response
Dear Jack,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear you were not happy with Critter Ridder®. It is important to keep in mind that it can take some time to condition squirrels not to return to an area treated with this repellent. When used as directed, Critter Ridder® can also be applied to the soil and in some cases directly onto your plant to discourage these pests.
I am a volunteer working with the nesting Loggerhead turtles on Harbor Island, SC. We had a large racoon invasion problem on our nesting beach last summer. The racoons destroyed one too many nests and I looked to granular Critter Ridder for a possible solution to the problem.
We sprinkled Critter Ridder on and around the nests (we had 26 nests last season). The granuals were still visable after many rain storms throughout the summer and it significantly decreased the racoon invasions of the nests.
I can safely say that Critter Ridder deterred the invasions and we will be using it again this turtle season. Thank you, Critter Ridder
